In a conversation hosted by CHIME, I had the opportunity to sit down with Baptist Health Care leaders Tom Della Flora, CIO, and Julie Dearinger-Smith, Director, Clinical Application Support, to discuss the organization’s deep partnership with Altera Digital Health and how it affects the way health technologies are designed and developed specifically for Baptist’s clinical needs.

An Altera partner since 2015, Baptist Health Care is a community-owned, not-for-profit organization that is driven by improving the quality of life for people and communities in northwest Florida and south Alabama.

During the webinar, we discussed the following topics:

• Why EHR collaboration is important
• How this partnership has proven different than other working relationships
• The benefits of strong vendor–client collaboration
